Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) Live

The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) is the leading securities exchange in East Africa. It was constituted in 1954 as a voluntary association of stockbrokers registered under the Societies Act. In 2008, the NSE All Share Index (NASI) was introduced as a market capitalization weighted index consisting of all the securities on the exchange, with a base value of 100 as of January 2008. Its attention and measure is therefore on the overall market capitalization rather than the price movements of select counters, effectively making it the benchmark index for the Kenyan stock market. The NSE is a member of the African Securities Exchanges Association and East African Securities Exchanges Association; also an affiliate member of the World Federation of Exchanges.
